Consortium to Disseminate and Understand Implementation of Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
NCT04178551 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a major cause of illness and death among Veterans for which effective treatment is a major priority of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Expanding access to alternatives to opioid medications for chronic pain management is also a leading priority. Effective medications for OUD (MOUD) are available, but their availability and use among Veterans varies across VHA. The aims of this study are to pull together the efforts of six individual pilot projects into a single project. The purpose of combining the projects is to maximize the value of the individual projects to VHA and to provide information to guide strategies to increase access and use of MOUD and alternative therapies for pain in VHA nationally. The researchers leading the individual projects will make use of their partnerships with Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) leaders in order to develop a combined effort toward increased dissemination and use of MOUD that spans 9 VISNs and 63 sites.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04178551
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04178551 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 63 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Opioid Medication Assisted Treatment appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Implementation Facilitation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04178551 reports 11 study locations spanning 11 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Alabama, California, Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
